As for myself,I like very much the way Icon handles the news stand. Honestly, I use it for that purpose most of the time. The ease with which the newspapers are downloaded and the navagation through them alone is worth the price. I am disappointed about missing the New York Times occasionally. In that regard, can anyone tell me where I can find last Sunday's issue?

good one! and it would open up the free market for the rest of us.----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Lumpkin" <llumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 10:06 PM Subject: [icon-discuss] suggestion for the news stand I know this is a radical departure but here goes anyway.Since the newspapers from bookshare/newsline are so unpredictable, how about scrapping the current news stand and providing a facility for subscribing to the normal on-line versions of newspapers. Most newspapers I have looked atrequire free registration to obtain a user id and password, the facility could ask for this information and then parce the newspaper using htmlanalysis somewhat like a good screen reader does with web pages.
